Southport has nice broad streets and several types of car may suit you, depending on your needs. Smaller cars are good for parking in tight areas, but you will also not have many problems with a larger car. If you would like to get off the beaten track and take some trips into the countryside, a larger four-wheel-drive vehicle might be worth your while; otherwise, any standard suburban car will be more than adequate for getting you around the sights and to the Gold Coast’s legendary beaches. You can book according to your needs when considering car hire in Southport.
Southport is a largely residential city and the speed limit in urban and suburban areas is mostly set at 50 km/h. Outside the city, you should follow the signs as speed limits are clearly posted on Australian roads. The standard limit on highways is 100 km/h.
Most parking in the city is metered and timed, so you should be careful to plan how long you intend to park to avoid getting fined, as meter readers do check parking meters regularly. Most parking is hourly and many central locations require you to buy a block of time with a maximum of 2h. You may need to return to top up your meter, if you intend to stay longer than this. If you do want to park for longer, there are several car parks in the city that give you the option of leaving your car for less specific periods of time and paying when you leave. Secure Parking at 30 Lawson St., Carey Carpark on Marine Parade (open 24h), and Cloyne Road Carpark, at 11 Cloyne Rd., are all good options if you want to park in the city and get around on foot or by public transportation.

Pros:
Terrible parking lot. Each of the 3 staff were helping other customers, but they walked past me several times each before finally acknowledging me and saying "I'll be with you soon".2 locations in Southport
